In the following, explanation passes through the lens unit 100 carried out of main body CPU 220 in P3 during the camera lens initialization of Fig. 6
The processing of initial position driving.
In the present embodiment, in order to realize the starting high speed of lens unit 100, P2 terminates during camera lens starts
Meanwhile automatically starting to carry out the initial position driving of lens unit 100.In initial position driving, without using usually making
INTR_BUSY signal control instructions, as initial setting, " controlling party " is assigned as lens unit 100, " control content " point
With for " initial position drives.As a result, as described above, to the main body communication unit 250 that INTR_BUSY signal is monitored, in camera lens
When the formal power supply of unit 100 is connected (t4 of Fig. 6), it is inserted into carrying out for the Low level edge to INTR_BUSY signal
The interruption of detection.Main body CPU220 by the detection of the Low level edge of INTR_BUSY signal, be set as camera lens start completion and
The beginning of the initial position driving of lens unit 100.
In addition, it is also considered that the Low level edge due to 100 failure of lens unit etc. without generating INTR_BUSY signal
The case where.Therefore, while the main energization of lens unit 100 is connected (t4 of Fig. 6), start to carry out timer control.
Main body CPU 220 is using the timer of timing unit 224, and whether there is or not the Low level side of INTR_BUSY signal occur for monitoring
Edge.Due to 100 failure of lens unit etc., even if beginning to pass through certain time (such as 200ms), INTR_BUSY from main energization
In the case that signal does not also switch to Low level from High level, main body communication unit 250 disconnects camera lens power switch 244,
Stop supplying power supply for the+5V power supply terminal and 3.3V power supply terminal of main body mounting portion 260, starts time-out as lens system
Error log is recorded in flash rom 226 by mistake.
In addition, camera lens CPU 120 not from camera body 200 receive busy signal control instructions and driving refer to
In the state of showing, the initial position as lens unit 100 is driven, and using driving portion, (zoom lens control unit 114 is focused thoroughly
Mirror control unit 116 and diaphragm control unit 118) and by driven member (zoom lens 104, condenser lens 106 and aperture
108) it respectively drives to initial, set position.Camera lens communication unit 150 initial position drive during in, INTR_BUSY is believed
Number it is set as Low level (on-state), at the end of initial position driving, INTR_BUSY signal is set as High level
(off-state) (t7 of Fig. 6).The main body CPU 220 of camera body 200 is by being inserted into INTR_BUSY signal as a result,
